TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to substituted pyrazolecarboxanilide derivatives or salts thereof, intermediates thereof, and agrohorticultural agents, particularly insecticides or acaricides, containing said compounds as an active ingredient and method for use thereof.

BACKGROUND ART

Conventionally, substituted pyrazolecarboxamide derivatives similar to the present invention are known to be useful as agrohorticultural insecticides, fungicides or acaricides (e.g., JP-A-2003-48878, JP-A-2004-189738 and JP-A-2004-269515). In JP-A-2003-48878, the substituted pyrazolecarboxanilide derivatives are disclosed. However, the substituents in the aniline moiety are mostly limited to the 2-position substituents, the 3-position substituent is methyl group alone, and the compound described in the present invention, wherein alkyl group having 2 or more carbon atoms is introduced into the 3-position is not included even in its compound list. Moreover, the 3-position methyl form concretely disclosed therein does not show an acaricide activity. In JP-A-2004-189738, substituted pyrazolecarboxanilide derivatives are disclosed. However, the substituents in the aniline moiety are limited to alkoxy group, alkylthio group and alkylamino group, and the compound described in the present invention, wherein alkyl group having 2 or more carbon atoms is directly introduced into the 3-position is not included even in its compound list. In JP-A-2004-269515, substituted pyrazolecarboxamide derivatives are disclosed. However, only an amide compound with heterocyclyl amine is disclosed, and the substituted pyrazolecarboxanilide derivatives of the present invention are not disclosed.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

In crop manufacturing in agricultural and horticultural fields, damages caused by insect pests are still serious, and development of novel agrohorticultural agents, particularly development of insecticides and acaricides is desired due to generation of insect pests resistant to known agents, and the like. Since various labor saving farm works are required due to increasing numbers of the aged farm working population, creation of agrohorticultural agents with properties suitable for such labor saving farm works, particularly insecticides and acaricides, is also demanded.

The present inventors have continued extensive studies on development of novel agrohorticultural agents, particularly insecticides and acaricides and have found, as the result, that among broad range of compounds described in the aforementioned prior document, a substituted pyrazolecarboxanilide derivative represented by the formula (I), in which a pyrazole ring is selected as the heterocyclic carboxylic acid moiety and a specific substituent is introduced into the aniline moiety at 3-position, showed excellent control effect as acaricides, not predicted at all from the content described in the aforementioned prior art references. Further, the inventors have found that an intermediate of said compound, i.e. a substituted aniline derivatives represented by the formula (II), and 1,3-dimethyl-5-trifluoromethylpyrazole-4-carboxylic acid or salt thereof were novel compounds unknown in prior references, and were useful as intermediates for manufacturing various derivatives having physiological activities such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides and the like, and thus completed the present invention.

Accordingly, the present invention relates to substituted pyrazolecarboxanilide derivatives represented by the formula (I):

A substituted pyrazolecarboxanilide derivative represented by the formula (I) or salts thereof of the present invention is used preferably as agrohorticultural insecticides or acaricides. However, the compound exhibits excellent control effect against various insect pests such as insect pests for forest and wood, insect pests for livestock farming, sanitary insect pests, etc. and can be used as pest control agents in various wide fields. Examples of insect pests include: Tabanidae such as Tabanus rufidens Bigot; Muscidae such as housefly (Musca domestica uicina MACQUART); Gasterophilidae such as horse bot fly (Gasterophilus intestinalis); Hypodermatidae such as cattle grub (Hypoderma bovis L.); Phoridae such as Megaselia spiracularis; Culicidae such as pale house mosquito (Culex pipiens pallens), Anopheles sinensis, one-striped mosquito (Aedes albopictus), and Aedes japonicus; Pulicidae such as cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis), dog flea (Ctenocephalides canis), human flea (Pulex irritans); Ixodidae such as Ixodes ovatus Neumann; Lymantriidae such as Euproctis similes; Rhynchophoridae such as rice weevil (Sitophilus zeamais); Vespidae such as Vespa simillima xanthoptera Cameron; Blattellidae such as German cockroach (Blattela germanica); Blattidae such as American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) and Periplaneta japonica; Pthiridae such as public-louse (Phthirus pubis); Termitidae such as Japanese termite (Reticulitermes speratus) and house termite (Coptotermes formosanus); and Ixodidae such as Ixodes persulcatus; and Macronyssidae such as tropical rat mite (Ornithonyssus bacoti).

The agrohorticultural agent, in particular, agrohorticultural insecticides or acaricides, containing a substituted pyrazolecarboxanilide derivative represented by the formula (I) or salt thereof of the present invention as an active ingredient has a marked controlling effect on the above-exemplified insect pests, which are injurious to paddy field crops, upland crops, fruit trees, vegetables and other crops, flowers and ornament plants, and the like.
